Overview

Descriptive cross-sectional survey reveals low dietary adequacy among food science students, highlighting nutritional challenges.

Key Points

  • The study found that 65% of Indonesian food science students had inadequate energy intake, raising health concerns.
  • About 17% of participants were underweight, while 38% classified as overweight or obese, reflecting significant nutritional imbalance.
  • Carbohydrate intake was critically low, meeting just 53.90% of dietary requirements, which is concerning for this population.
  • The coexistence of undernutrition and overnutrition demonstrates a double burden of malnutrition among students expected to be nutritionally aware.
